Why go now
At $212 per person, or $424 for two, this fare is $13 below the typical fare on this route. That's 6% under the $225 median of our earlier checks, and it's the lowest we've seen in 30 days. Across 12 offers we found fares from $212 to $283 per person. Mid-November is a good window for the desert. Typical highs run 71–81°F with lows near 53°F, and you miss the February and March spring training crowds and peak resort rates. A full week leaves time for a sunrise hike, a spa day and easy evenings in Old Town without cramming. Heads-up: the cheap fare means one stop and 10h 47m of travel. Prices include taxes and fees as found when we checked, and they can change, so check the live price before you commit.
The kind of trip this is
This is a desert-and-wellness week with good food and a lively bar scene on the side. It suits a couple or two friends who want sun, a few hikes and a spa day more than a packed itinerary. The pace is easy: start early on the trails, take long afternoons by the pool and have dinner and drinks in Old Town.
